Letter: Can we sink lower?

I thought the lunacy displayed by the House of Representatives while ruling on “repeal and replace Obamacare” (AKA the more popular “Affordable Care Act”) could not be topped, but the Senate rose to the challenge and beat their fellow idiots in the House by a landslide. After numerous yes votes and amendments on various empty bills, which 50 Republicans called horrible, ludicrous, laughable and other noteworthy adjectives, it took one respectable senator to do the right thing and vote NO!

Pushed on by their peerless leader who just had to keep his promise to the voters during the primary to provide all citizens with affordable, accessible, full coverage health care, they repeatedly chanted their own promises knowing that the bill was nothing but a tax cut for the super rich while cutting Medicaid for the poor and denying 22 million people and their innocent children any health care.

Meanwhile, the president and his wimps in Congress are busy making sure the ACA will die by cutting subsidies to the private healthcare market so they cannot afford the exorbitant prices set by the monopolistic health care industry.
